I can see reinforcements being needed at the temple... so I can see white suited Clones there. I can see the grey marking troops there too since we do see them on Coruscant in one scene...

Be funny if Palpy sent in the 501st thinking they'd get the job done and they still needed extra guys to pour in. Jedi kickin' ass and they'd take names but they kicked it so fast they could only take initials!

Off topic: Why do all the new higher ranking clones have the TE/Baccara shoulder covering? I mean, I like them and all...but whatever happened to paldrons? I guess an in-universe anwser is these are less cumbersome in the feild?

I look at the Bacara and TE Gunner's thing as a Pauldron... Seems like the Clones just had a variety of them (as far as their "look" or physical construction)... Why that is, I'm totally clueless. Maybe the Clones made them on their own by their specific legions, but the Empire stripped them down to a specific uniformed style for all troopers with the colors meaning the same across the board.

At least that's how I'm looking at things right now.

On the "skirt", I think it's more means of a Commander establishing himself as unique among his men, and perhaps paying some tribute to the Republic's most elite Clones too... I dunno. I wouldn't think it would hinder movement or be a "problem" for troops and movement.

I got all four sets from EE a few weeks ago. They are ok but they are overpriced. I think it is about $36 a set or all four for $120. I think EE will get more in September. You can order them now and get them when they are released. I ordered mine in May and got them a few weeks ago.
